Intro: / G - - - / - - - - /
F (2)
Once a year we celebrate
FF
With stupid hats and plastic plates
F (2)
The fact that you were able to make
FF (hold)
Another trip around the sun
F (2)
And the whole clan gathers round
FF
And gifts and laughter do abound
F (2)
And we let out a joyful sound
FF (hold)
And sing that stupid song
FFF (2)
Happy birthday! Now you're one year older!
FFF (2)
Happy birthday! Your life still isn't over!
FFF
Happy birthday! You did not accomplish much
F (2)
But you didn't die this year
FF
I guess that's good enough
/ G - - - / - - - - / C - - - / G (hold) /
F (2)
So let's drink to your fading health
FF
And hope you don't remind yourself
F (2)
The chance of finding fame and wealth
FF (hold)
Decrease with every year
F (2)
Does it feel like you're doing laps
FF
And eating food and taking naps
F (2)
And hoping that someday perhaps
FF (hold)
Your life will hold some cheer
FFF (2)
Happy birthday! What have you done that matters?
FFF (2)
Happy birthday! You're starting to get fatter
FFF
Happy birthday! It's downhill from now on
F (2)
Try not to remind yourself
FF
Your best years are all gone
/ G - - - / - - - - / C - - - / G (hold) /
F (2)
If cryogenics were all free
FF
Then you could live like Walt Disney
F (2)
And live for all eternity
FF (hold)
Inside a block of ice
F (2)
But instead your time is set
FF
This is the only life you get
F (2)
And though it hasn't ended yet
FF (hold)
Sometimes you wish it might
FFF (2)
Happy birthday! You wish you had more money
FFF (2)
Happy birthday! Your life's so sad it's funny
FFF
Happy birthday! How much more can you take?
F (2)
But your friends are hungry
FF
So just cut the stupid cake
F (2) G7 (2)
Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
F (2) G7 (2)
Happy birthday, dear...
